Their office design: “The FreshBooks office is based on the concept of the three Cs: connectedness, collaboration, and collisions. The open concept provides a sense of community and makes it easy for everyone to feel connected. We have plenty of meeting rooms and whiteboards to facilitate collaboration. And we create opportunities for FreshBookers to collide. Certain features of the office — like the kitchen, washrooms, and the main staircase — were placed to set up pathways for people to run into each other. The lack of separation between departments allows teammates who wouldn’t normally work together, to have unplanned conversations and interact.” — Mike McDerment, CEO and co-founder of FreshBooks
